Page "Marcel Janco" Paragraph 74

Admired by his contemporaries on the avant-garde scene, Marcel Janco is mentioned or portrayed in several works by Romanian authors.

In the 1910s, Vinea dedicated him the poem " Tuzla ", which is one of his first contributions to modernist literature ; a decade later, one of the Janco exhibits inspired him to write the prose poem Danţul pe frânghie (" Dancing on a Wire ").

Following his conflict with the painter, Tzara struck out all similar dedications from his own poems.

Before their friendship waned, Ion Barbu also contributed a homage to Janco, referring to his Constructivist paintings as " storms of protractors ".

In addition, Janco was dedicated a poem by Belgian artist Émile Malespine, and is mentioned in one of Marinetti's poetic texts about the 1930 visit to Romania, as well as in the verse of neo-Dadaist Valery Oisteanu.

Janco's portrait was painted by colleague Victor Brauner, in 1924.
